Friends of Grand Rapids History
About Friends of Grand Rapids History
Join the Friends of Grand Rapids History, a new feature of the Grand Rapids Historical Commission. The GRHC, a commission of the city, receives no city funding for our many publications or for the continuing growth of this website which features photo essays about lesser known people and events in Grand Rapids history and thousands of images related to the city.
Those who become Friends will be honored at an annual GRHC reception and program where they can meet and mingle with others who share their interest in local history.
Membership is available to individuals, organizations, and businesses; memorial and in-honor-of designations are also available. The names of Friends are posted on the GRHC website. Select your level for a one-year membership as a Friend.
